Geoffrey B. Veteran Posted April 21, 2010 Veteran Share Posted April 21, 2010 I have been playing the game for about a Week now and Honestly its Fun however, the story is VERY poor. However one of the best parts of this game rather than games like GTA is that you are supposed to blow stuff up and cause Chaos and destroy things, They want you to do it, And for the most part things stay that way once you have messed them up. and Honestly the game looks fantastic while you are doing it. A friend of mine can only play on low settings and the game still looks fantastic. I tried to play the Demo on my PS3 and thought the controls were simply horrible, I play on my PC and its turned all the way up and looks fabulous. I give it a 8 out of 10 simply due to the story, and cookie cutter settlements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikh Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 God I love this guy. Great video. Thanks AB (Y). Funny thing I picked up this game on PC for $5 and picked up for the sole reason to blow **** up when i feel like it. Still havent because in BC2 when I blow **** up i also kill people haha. This game is equal fun because I like to just walk around or grapple or etc and just blow **** up on some days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridlas Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 This game looks like an exact copy of Mercenaries. Same rubbish controls and crappy storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WastedJoker Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 This game looks like an exact copy of Mercenaries. Same rubbish controls and crappy storyline. It's better than Mercenaries but that pretty much sums it up. Oh and the cities are freaking empty :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedon Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I enjoyed Mercenaries 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 The game is fun for about 3-4 hours and then the 'fun' just drops, NO decent story to keep you interested, NO implementation of proper physics to mess around with bodies and watch how destruction unfolds, completely over-the-top features that let you explore so fast, you feel like you've seen "everything" a bit too quickly. By everything I mean the most obvious areas, going over the same copy & paste terrain is not exploring. The engine is amazing and it's a bloody shame it was wasted on a game like this.

WastedJoker Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Yup. Getting ammo is a ridiculous chore - to get 500 rounds of ammo you need to spend about 250 rounds taking out a stronghold...it's annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingeringSoul Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Yahtzee seems to enjoy games of the "mindless fun" variety. Painkiller, Saints Row 2, and Just Cause 2 (a lukewarm review, but that's good by his standards). I usually like my single-player games to have a bit more storyline than this (hence why I stopped playing Borderlands), so I'll probably give this one a pass, although I must say that the voice acting is quite hilarious: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I passed on this game because it will not run on XP at all... their loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 22, 2010 Author Subscriber² Share Posted April 22, 2010 When I played the demo I really enjoyed it but I'll wait for this to hit rock bottom prices before buying. I enjoy sandbox games but the GTA expansions are my priority right now and at least I'm getting good stories with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingeringSoul Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Ah, ok. Thanks Red X boy. In my browser it's a blue question mark :). When I played the demo I really enjoyed it but I'll wait for this to hit rock bottom prices before buying. I enjoy sandbox games but the GTA expansions are my priority right now and at least I'm getting good stories with them! Same here. I'm guessing that Steam will eventually ("eventually" meaning around six months from now) have a sale for this game. I wouldn't mind playing a game like this on the PC anyways.

chaos mage Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 That was awesome. So is this game. I've put 38 hours in so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolerodan Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 ?That was awesome. So is this game. ?I've put 38 hours in so far. This game is fantastic. The detail is rediculous. Im talking about little details everywhere. Drive a car on a dirty road, your car gets dirty. Drive it in grass and a jungle, it gets grass stains and some mud on it. Your player model gets sandy, running in the desert, or snowy running around in the snow. You can blow out car tires or just have tires go FLAT. The scenery is beautiful and the overall detail I have been noticing that they really didnt have to put in, has been put in. I recommend this game for some fun nonsense action...just..well..Just cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos mage Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 ?I recommend it because just playing the demo I had no freaking idea I'd put this much time into it. ?I'll probably still be playing it after I get Conviction :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToneKnee Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 What makes me wonder about this game is that it's a lot like GTA4, but GTA4 runs like absolute crap. I go any where on the map and there is no stuttering or any thing! Very well designed game engine. I've been playing around with trainers and the 'One bullet' kill option is hiliarious if you run into a military base, haha! Just spray and watch things blow up. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelli Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Am I the only one that doesn't like it? I liked the first but not the second and I can't put my finger on why :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tie multiple vehicles to a huge aircraft and take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
